Tucked atop the Boro Hotel in Long Island City, this cozy rooftop bar offers stunning views of Manhattan without the usual crowd chaos, making it perfect for laid-back day drinking.
"What It Is: The bar on top of a new hotel in Long Island City Perfect For: Day Drinking We’ve been to a lot of rooftop bars recently, so we can confidently say that many of them are sh*tshows. That’s why we were excited to discover the bar at the top of the Boro Hotel in Long Island City. There was no wait to get in on a recent Saturday night, and the relatively small space - a few couches, tables, and counter seats - has great views of the East River and Manhattan. This hotel also has Beebe’s on its ground floor, so keep it in mind for a one-two punch with a date or small group. The Verdict: You don’t need to go out of your way to drink here, but it’s a good option next time you’re near LIC and want a rooftop where you can actually get in." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
"A rooftop bar at a new hotel with great views sounds like the kind of place that reaches capacity while you’re still ordering brunch. But that’s not the case with this spot at the top of the Boro Hotel in Long Island City. It’s on the small side - there are just a few couches, tables, and counter seats looking out over LIC and Manhattan - but it rarely gets packed, and it’s a nice spot for a cocktail. We also like Beebe’s (the restaurant on the ground floor), so keep them both in mind for a one-two punch with a date or small group." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
